Mar 2020

my partner and I worked together 24/7, on the road, living in hotels for 10 years before he retired (I stayed working on the road for 2 more years)...

we worked all the kinks out during those 10 years

now he's pretty dependent on me (for health issues) and we have worked the kinks out...

I just go out and talk to my chickens when I need to
